“These numbers will lead you
to his true name His name will provide you the date of his death…”

Soooooo --- you are at SOPDET?

Well ---- let's look at this logically. What is the focus of the
puzzle? Look at the blanks --- what does the Phoenix ask for?

------ -- -----

-- / -- / ----

You
have to find a name and date. Look at the puzzle screen --- what do you see?
Who is that?

No, it isn't Christ, sorry.

It is the "Shroud of Turin".

Now what did the Phoenix tell us? Find the true identity
of the unknown person whose image is on the Shroud of Turin and contrary to
popular belief, he says it’s not Jesus.

You should be reading your emails here especially those from Theo
Makarios - Kristin - Gery Millander and Cliff.

So let's have a look at the puzzle

On screen is a row of 27 zeros. All the other numbers are in
columns.

When you move the cursor over the top and bottom columns some of
the zeros are replaced by other numbers and then switch back, yet one will
always stay.

“Only the 17th stays still”

Hint1

You have to watch and note down the parts of the numeric code,
which seem to stay stagnant; the code will only be shown in sections.

Move your cursor slowly across the bottom columns and note down
the numbers, which appear within the brackets. Do the same for the top columns.
Continue until all 27 numbers are revealed; remember that the 17th
number will always be “0”.

Now once you've managed to uncover the entire numeric code,
Obviously you will have to decrypt it. What can you use?

You handy dandy Gery Milander "Text Decoder" --- click on the
upper left small rectangle to open up your "Tool Bar" and click on Text Decoder.
There is one of three methods you may use ...

No, it isn’t a name, but a phrase rather. It translates to “The skin is off the bones”.

OK --- moving right along --- it is very important to note that
as an "investigator" you are required to do your job. INVESTIGATE! What tools
are at your disposal? The Internet, for one. You should always be doing Google
searches for every thing --- every new piece of information that you uncover or
receive by email.

Note*:
With regard to the date, 03/18/1314 will also work (if you are playing the
American version of the game)

Interesting Note:
The solution
can also be found on the macbenach site created by Adrian (that site is
registered or authored under the name Alex Alonso).
http://www.macbenach.net/ you may want to copy
and save that graphic to a folder for later scrutiny. It’s a .png file.

“We're making progress… Here's
another gift for you…”

Video Clip 3.1

Manuela and Jack are still staking out Urquijo’s home. When he
leaves they tail him to an abandoned quarry, where he meets up with a new
arrival in a blue mini. Urquijo hands the unidentified man something (looks like
a note). After an hour of shadowing the mini, as it drives toward Rhonda, he
leads them to a mountain top hacienda.

SETA 1

“His wounds will lead you to
him…”

Click on the graphic and you will see that it is a picture of a
yet another victim (I seriously hope that you are making a list, folks)
with wounds across his back. It will start to move. Now click and release your
mouse button continually. You will notice that the picture will zoom in and out.
Look carefully – There is something written on this poor soul’s back. Try
following his wounds like a map.

Follow the letters they make up.

Hint1: 5
words

“5 words toward the Glory of
God…”

Clue:
aim music glory god soul

No, that isn’t the answer –
you are looking for a word which has 4 letters only.

As in every part of this game use your search engine for every
hint or clue that you uncover. (Google is best) Type aim music glory god soul
into a Google search and you will find many sites.

Hint: This is just one
possible website http://regiaecclesia.wordpress.com/2006/08/07/music-and-the-soul/

Solution:

SETA 2

“It took me a long time to
find Gilbert. Considerably less to get him to talk... His name will open Seta to
you”

You must read your emails carefully.

Hint 1:

Kristin Re: SETA 2

Cliff RE: seta lvl2

Kristen RE: Manus Domini

David RE: My Final Analysis

Phoenix RE: SETA

(These will happen during the puzzle)

The puzzle: Who is the man?

Hint 2:
GILBERT _ _ _ _ _ _

Looks like a last name possibly? Look at the puzzle --- what do
you see? A face --- and what looks like flies about the face --- what happens
when you move the cursor off of the face and then click on the symbol that
appears? To the left? To the right? Above the face?

You should see symbols for MOON - DOT – CROSS. Have you
tried clicking on these symbols? On the same symbol more than once? More than
twice?

Try this

Click on the moon symbol 3 times à
this will give you your first letter “A”

As the letters appear catch them with your cursor and place them
in the spaces provided. The letter will only stay in the correct space. Once
you have gotten all six letters -- if you still cannot decipher it you may want
to do a Google search.

“Byron will lead you to him.”

What did the emails tell you? What did you learn from SETA1? Do a
search in Google using the words from SETA1 in quotes + the result of that
original search: “Aim Music Glory God Soul" + The aim and final end of all
music should be none other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul.

The result will be: http://www.byronandson.com/

Hmmm, Charles Edwin Byron. Search this site and find this link:

Go to the link --- Hmmmm see anything interesting? At the bottom
of the site we see:

Byron & Son

300 E 12th Street (at 1st Ave,
Manhattan)

and a link to: The Saint Dominic Foundation.

When we click on the link, we are taken to the splash screen for
this new site. If you keep your mouse still over “Welcome” – hey, we can
see the name: Charles Edwin Byron. Gee, he must be important over there.
Let’s click on Our Team and then scroll down a bit. Wow, he’s the Deputy
Managing Director. Wait a minute! Look at the list of the former managing
director from 1996 – 2005. BINGO!

But just to be sure, Click on the In Memoriam link as
well.

Gee --- doesn't he look familiar? What was his last name?

Solution to puzzle

Click on the symbols in this manner. It will cause smoke to come
out of Gilbert's mouth and then a letter. When the letter appears, catch it with
your cursor and then place it on the correct dot where the space for the name is
provided.

“Look, a few more revelations
are coming your way…”

Video Clip 3.2

Manuela has a warrant issued to search the hacienda in Ronda,
which obviously search as the headquarters for this “secret society. Pablo and
Jack come along to assist her. She looks through the bookcase but finds nothing,
until she reaches the desk. Here letters from the society’s archives are found.
Interesting letterhead, don’t cha’ think?

We can make out the word “Il Fedeli” which means “The Friends”.
There is another word underneath this but it is still too small to see. The
Friends of whom? Or what? Where have we seen this before?

Here’s a clue: “Dante”.

In one of the letters Peter Volker, a German linguist of some
renown, expresses the wish to entrust the valuable “Codex 14” of the Nag Hammadi
written in an ancient language to some one he knows and trusts.

In fact, Jack now realizes that the scope of his documentary has
changed. He knows that the Phoenix is after this book. He decides to alert the
German profiler Gerd Hanke.

“Poor Jack, he seemed
completely lost!

And not too thrilled about
crossing my path again...

We have to wonder why...”

Time to check your email again: Kristin RE: Film at the
hacienda. Here she mentions some interesting theories. One being the Nag
Hammadi Codices which can be explored here:

http://www.nag-hammadi.com/

http://www.nag-hammadi.com/fr/albane.euro.st/index_us.htm

I found this one by searching Google with “Peter Volker” + Nag Hammadi.

Welcome to the "Phoenix Rodeo". On the screen you will see the
letters "F" and "S" galloping (sorry -- but you do need a sense
of humor about this game or you be needing therapy when it's over) around
the screen. Notice that they seem to move randomly. See what you can do with
them....

Try to capture one by encircling it with your left mouse button
----

Can’t do it?

Maybe that particular letter is "lonely for its mate".

Try that.

Hint1:
By clicking
down and holding you left mouse button encircle more than one letter of its
type. EX: When two or more "F"s are in close proximity, encircle them --- make
sure that you make a complete circle.

Oops! What happened to the "F"s?

Notice that as you encircle two or more of the same kind: "F" or
"S" they disappear.... No, not really when they are all gone; look to your right
---- See? They are safely in the Corral.

But what's this? Now that you've got the "F" and "S" safely
tethered a whole new bunch letters are lose!

…You’re not a very good cowhand, now are you?

Well, practice makes perfect
they say and if you intend to get through this level you will have to lasso all
them "lil' doggies --- and none of my own" lalalaalaaa

(OOOKOkokokok --- I'll stop
now)

Look to the right part of your screen --- you'll see that you
have this:

F----

S------

------

----------

-----------

------

----------

Capture the rest of the letters in the same manner and now you
will have:

F----

S------

K-----

I---------

P----------

F-----

T---------

“Well played, little friend.
You must now complete the phrase…”

Well now what does this mean? Interesting that those letters seem
to be the first letter of certain words. SO --- a phrase perhaps? Carefully
check through all of your emails --- Nothing really? Check again and then it's
time for a Google search FSKIPFT into the search engine and it will
return the following site which you have already seen and hopefully studied:
http://www.umanista.net

Search the entire site (you will need it later as well)
but for right now the most important link here is Poets & Philosophers
and then the link for Dante.

Know what that means? The words are in Latin and Hebrew. They
very loosely translate to Faithful Holy Consecrated Supreme Rule Templar
Brotherhood ---not too bad for a Texan, huh?

Clue: After this
quotation, you’ll find another quote on the link: Fidèles d’Amour”.

KNUM 2

“It was created in the 13th
century Now you know its name.”

No, The phoenix isn’t talking about the cross you see in front of
you.

He’s speaking of the secret society.

Well what do you see here? This is actually a very special cross.
It's called a crux gemmata—a cross bearing thirteen gems-a Christian
ideogram for Christ and His twelve apostles. Except that the Phoenix is too
wacky to realize that the cross should have had 13 jewels or mouths and not 12
-- guess he can't count, can he? Well, in his defense I guess you could consider
the rose in the center to be a gem. The Rosicrucians seemed to think so.

Just another bit of trivia
here, folks.

No -- that isn't the reason
---

But you'll figure that out
in Level 8

Anyway, here we see a cross with 12 mouths. Click on them and you
will see that they each make a distinct phonetic sound. So it is obvious that
you have to create a word or phrase with these sounds. But what?

Well --- read your email!

Especially the one from Theo Makers RE: Dante and the Faithful
of Love. These hold answer to the phrase you are trying to recreate is in
that email.

Hint 1:
IFEDELI
D’AMORE

No, that isn't the answer just the phrase that needs to be
replicated by Sharon’s mouths on the cross. You are looking for --- the sounds
to produce something very close to it. Type it into the text box as one word
without the “I” and you will have the first part of the puzzle completed.

FIDELIDAMORE, FEDELIDAMORE,
FIDELID’ AMORE
will be accepted.

“Perfect, little friend! I'd
now like to hear it spelled out loud...

Sharon is here at your
disposal for that…”

Now The Phoenix will ask Sharon (yes, folks, those are her
lips) to sound out the words for you. You will have to click on the mouths
in the right order to have the phrase sounded out correctly. But each mouth will
produce 4 different sound in then loop them (very frustrating). You not only
have to locate the mouths with the correct sounds --- you also have to time them
or set them up correctly so that you can produce them in sequence.

Notice that as you work on this, when you hit a correct syllabic
sound the certain syllables in the phrase within the text box will turn to red
-- denoting that your selection was correct.

Solution 1:

1: A - I – O – E

2: FA - FI– FO – FE (depending upon how you have
spelled the phrase)

3 - 5: DA - DI – DO – DE

4: LA - LI – LO –LE

6: MA - MI – MO –ME

7: RA - RI – RO – RE

The trick to this puzzle is to set the mouths to the sound before
the sound you want to hear. Ex: at position 2: FA is the sound you want
to “set” it to as the next sound FI, will be the one you may want. When
you loop them together use position 1 in the sequence and then leave it out the
second time. When you are ready, play them as:

Position 2=FI or FE

Position 3=DE

Position 4=LI

Position 5=DA

Position 6=MO

Position 7=RE

Once all the syllables have been correctly looped together by
clicking on the correct mouth with the correct sound, the mouths repeat the
expression:

IFEDELID’AMORE

“Easy, no?

I don't want you to miss the
next film...

It will bring new revelations

About my journey and my Work…”

Video Clip 3.3

Jack goes to the airport to pick up Gerd Hanke, the German
profiler. Jack has worked with him before, heh heh.

Manuela explains where they are in the investigation. Gerd tells
them that there were two more victims assassinated in New York, Gilbert Masson
and his secretary. He is sure that it is the Phoenix.

Masson was reputed to be the brains behind the ultra Catholic
organization, Manus Domini. And as with the other victims, a limb was taken from
each of the victims there as well… an ear from one and a tongue from the other.
Gerd suspects that someone in the organization must have clued the Phoenix in to
the whereabouts of what he was searching for. Could it have been the Nag Hammadi
text, The Codex 14?

“Dear old Gerd Hanke, he swore
he'd have my hide…

ha ha... If you hear word of
him

Be sure to send him my
regards…

ZAR KNUM

“He, too, belonged to the
secret society He created in this painting. A fine homage to the Temple…”

“To open Zar-Knum, find the
original and correct the errors…”

Here we have a cube with 6 sides. Each side depicts part of a
famous Renaissance painting. The same painting, now swirling about this cube are
7 spheres. If we click on a “side” or “face” of the cube we can see that we can
manipulate the cube in any direction. Remember that your cursor will react in
direct opposition to the direction that you wish to move the cube. To solve this
riddle you have to remember what the Phoenix asks of you. So let’s look at what
he is saying:

1.“He,
too, belonged to the secret society He created in this painting…” = “He”,
being an artist --- which artist? We will have to find out his name. Which
secret society? The Phoenix has equated his name with the “IFEDELID’AMORE”,
so that would be the obvious
assumption.Yet, I believe that the secret
society is the Knights Templar. Why? Look carefully – Notice the Temple
itself. Didn’t you notice the writing on the wall? Or should I say the writing
on the entry way to the Temple. Just use your “zoom tool”. Can’t see it?

2.The
writing on the Temple gives you the clue:
RAPHAEL VRBINAS MDIIII. It’s just
over the mantle of the doorway.(Which actually means
Raphael of Urbino and the date: 1504 refers to when the painting was created).
The Temple is a copy of the Temple of Jerusalem --- see the connection to the
Templars now?

3.“To
open Zar-Knum, find the original…” = Easy enough, many gamers might already know
this famous painting from the high Renaissance period. But for those of you who
don’t; simply type RAPHAEL VRBINAS MDIIII into a Google
search, which will return the following site:
http://www.1911encyclopedia.org/Raphael_Sanzio. If you read the bottom
paragraph, you will find that the artist is none other than “Raphael” and
the name of the painting is known as “Sposalizio della Virgine” in Italian or “The Betrothal of the Virgin”.

4.You
have already seen this picture IF you were a good detective and studied
the site thoroughly that you visited during your stay at KNUM 1. Oh… what
was that? What site? Why this one, of course --
http://www.umanista.net – Click on the link Painters and Sculptors
– than on Raphael and scroll down --- you will eventually see the picture
in it’s entirety.

5.“…and
correct the errors” = Go back to the puzzle now, look carefully at each of the 6 sides
and you will notice that there are several mistakes. Notice also that there are
7 spheres...It follows logically that each sphere represents one mistake. Since
there are only 6 sides, one side will have 2 mistakes. Study the picture at the
Umanista site and then correct the “mistakes” by placing one of the spheres on
the problem area. They are circled for you below. If one sphere does not work
--- try another sphere.

Be sure to check your email again.

David Markus RE: My Final Analysis

Video Clip 3.4

Manuela receives a phone call from the Portuguese police. There
has been another murder. (This makes six, I believe.) She sends Gerd to
the north of Portugal to investigate.

“Masson was the mastermind
behind Manus Domini I had a hard time finding him. The organization is like an
octopus. It changes its name to exert better control.

Before he died, Masson
confessed Manus Domini never had the cursed Book. It was under the protection of
the Friends of Dante…

I hit the road. I found the
Faithful of Love responsible for protecting it. The third one eventually talked.
The cursed Book is in my hands now.

Its
secret will assure me Eternal Life.”

Looks as though we were correct. It was the Nag Hammadi book,
Codex 14 after all.
